Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata Revealed to Have Bought 10,000 Wii Us to Bolster Sales

http://www.p4rgaming.com/nintendo-ceo-satoru-iwata-revealed-to-have-bought-10000-wii-us-to-bolster-sales-numbers/

The extremely disappointing Wii U sales of just 160,000 in the past three months have hurt Nintendos standing with investors. Further hurting investor relations, Satoru Iwata admitted today that he bought 10,000 Wii Us to push the sales number higher.

Analysts have been questioning the number of Wii U sales that Nintendo claims to have made and even with the extremely low figure of just 160 thousand, many say that the real number of Wii Us sold is lower.

In what appears to be a move to get the controversy out of the way, Iwata has come out and said that he personally bought 10 thousand Wii Us at the last minute when he saw the sales figures for the last quarter.

When I saw the sales figures come in for the Wii U, I was dismayed, said Iwata at a press conference, As CEO, I can not just do nothing. This is why I bought ten thousand Wii Us in an effort to make the numbers appear larger. I apologize for attempting to deceive investors, but please understand that I really believe in this product and the potential it has.

Iwata paused for a moment and then continued speaking, Personally, I barely use my Wii U so I understand where some users are coming from. I can assure them that if they wait until 2014 or 2015 that games will eventually come. In the meantime, I suggest that current Wii U owners browse Miiverse and draw a lot of pictures.

One member of the press asked how Nintendo will entice potential buyers of the system to which Iwata replied, Currently there is not much to sway consumers into purchasing a Wii U right this instant. To be honest, Im surprised that there are still people who are thinking about buying a Wii U. In any case, you can browse Miiverse on your computer and smartphone and look at the pictures that current Wii U owners have drawn.

Iwata ended the conference stating, Does anyone want to buy a Wii U from me right now?

Lmao, what the hell is he going to do with all those Wii U's?

even though this is fake, when i think back to the nes, snes, and even n64 days it's just kind of sad to see what's happening to nintendo.

Lol, at least he can give the out for sweepstakes, that's pretty generous.bbkkristian

I knew the source would be P4rgaming before even clicking on this thread.

People, you need to know the difference between legit gaming news and joke articles.

The sad part is some people here are actually going to buy this shit.

That sounds like a musician buying his own music. It doesn't look good for Nintendo if true.

If this is true, then it is going to be the end of his career as CEO of Nintendo. Stock holders won't put up with him and will vote him out of his position if this is true. It's time for someone to step in and clean the house and also have their developers to have tape on their mouths and start pumping games.
